CastofHBO's'SiliconValley'tobroadcastbrandnewcontentusingTwitch

The cast of HBO’s “Silicon Valley” really are thinking different. To prep fans for the new season of the popular comedy show, Thomas Middleditch, Kumail Nanjiani, Martin Starr, and Zach Woods are heading to Twitch’s HQ on April 8, and there they’ll engage in a special one-off stream.

According to a press release which recently reached our inbox, the cast is using the opportunity “to connect with fans and showcase content from the new season” of the show, which is due to premiere on HBO a few days later, on April 12. The move marks HBO’s first Twitch stream, and according to the network, the cast of “Silicon Valley” couldn’t be a better fit: apparently, a number of cast members – including Thomas Middleditch – are gamers and Twitch streamers.

As the cast engage in game playing with host and Twitch’s Live Programming Director Jon Carnage, they will answer questions live from the Twitch community and share an exclusive clip from the upcoming new season. Following the Q&A, there will be a live stream of the show’s pilot episode from Season 1, a first for any television network.
